GPGPU-sim Day 1

GPGPU-SIM
I came across great project where we can simulate GPGPU's and we can change the source code and get the results by using benchmarks, we will Explore more about GPGPU-sim as we go further
Project Link
This Post we will cover the ground work what should be done

we are going to follow below steps in first few days
  1. Read the gpgpu-sim Manual step by step

2.Understanding the code of SRC File in GPGPU-SIM DISTRIBUTION we will do it in parallel while reading the manual, where we come across GPU architecture and code snippets (functions for implementing)

  1. I'll be sharing the Research papers(along with Link) where they Proposed different architectural Designs for GPU's
My setup for GPGPU-Sim
  1. GPGPU-sim virtual box and i changed the source code of GPGPU-Sim master to GPGPU_Sim Dev which helps us to undersatnd the Latest GPUs Here's the link for setting up

I am using virtual box because my system is not supporting for cuda driver even though i have proprietary nvidia drivers
i wasn't able to configure well x-server in linux it is always showing error

if your system have gpu there are many tutorials for setting up For Nvidia-cuda toolkit be careful in each step and read the readme file of GPGPU-Sim distribution carefully for dependecies and environmental variables

If yo ur setting up for nvidia-cuda toolkit is succesfull let me know in the comment

Here is the GPGPU-Sim Tutorial-1
